Microsoft SQL Server 2022 1 Device CAL

Control SQL Server 2022 access at the device level with a single Device CAL designed for environments where multiple people use the same workstation. This licensing model fits shared terminals, shift-based operations, and fixed office devices where access should follow the hardware, not the person. A device CAL helps standardize compliance by assigning one access right to one endpoint. That makes it easier to manage SQL Server usage across desks, kiosks, and departmental workstations without overbuying user-based licenses for every employee who touches the system. For organizations running SQL Server 2022, the right CAL structure matters as much as the server itself. This license supports controlled, auditable access while keeping procurement aligned to how the environment actually operates. It is a practical choice when a single device serves multiple authorized users throughout the day.
